srndpty. --> a jared and drea fanfic

Part 20

Drea's vision is blurry. She's driving, alone in her car, but she still didn't want to let those tears fall.

What did she do wrong? She's doing her best to help them get what they want and now they're acting like this towards her? Are they blaming the loss of the fin to her?

Her tears are just seconds away from falling but she always holds them back, and it's making it harder for her to breathe. All the hate that she has accepted today, every single person that ignored her existence, Jared that said very unusual and mean words to her, all of it makes her heart ache. Earlier she thought he can't be available because of a ton of paperwork on his desk. She kinda missed him, that's why although she wasn't sleepy, she nuzzled up to her favorite neck pillow and looked at him from afar. Not until she noticed him staring at her too. So she went there, but an earful is what she got.

This heartache is not for nothing. She won't let it. She has to prove herself and be back with them. 

She reached for her phone and dialled the only person she can see at fault for what's happening to her.

"Where are you?" She asked with a brittle voice but at the same time it sounded tight because of all the anger that's building up inside her chest.

"Were you ignored by the people you care for so much?" Kathryn laughed. "Good for you."

It felt as if her breathing stopped for a moment, hearing that. 

"What do you know about them? Are you following them? What are you planning to do?" She shakily asked.

"Oh I know a lot of things." Her mother replied. Drea knew right then and there that she won't be getting any good answer if she keeps asking that and she doesn't have much time so she went straight to the point.

"Give me the container, Kathryn. Where are you?"

"No worries, Sammy. It will come right in front of your door," she replied as if things are good between them. "Drive safely."

"No. I need the fin and not the container so give it to me." She deepened her voice.

"I already told you it was a blank. If it had the fin then I wouldn't make time for you." 

She inhaled. "I don't believe you."

"I don't care what you believe, princess. I care about the fin, so if you know where it is, then you better tell me."

"Stop tricking me. It's with you and I want it."

Kathryn then hung up. 

So is it true? The fin isn't in the container? Then why did Michaela see it in her vision and why did Jared insist that it's there?

She can't think straight anymore. If she goes to Kathryn's place, for sure she will not get anything. Harshly, she pulled over and almost slammed her face on the steering wheel because of the pressure of her brake. She stopped in an empty street. Literally an empty street, just lampposts and trees. Finally, she let out a breakdown, crying and howling all she wants. 

Then after that, after she released a little amount of her pain, she was able to breathe better and drive home. She stopped at a gas station, bought some drinks from a convenience store and used the washroom to clear her puffy eyes that are fresh from crying. She doesn't want her mom to see this. She doesn't want her to think she's being suicidal again.

When she got to step on the marble floors of their mansion, some of the maids on duty greeted her and asked if she needed anything. She didn't. She just wants some time alone to think this through. But her mom appeared in front of her, wearing her expensive silk nighties and sleep mask on her head.
